LibDem’s ‘Fact-Finding Mission’ to Amsterdam
Coming out as pro-liberalisation if not pro-drugs legalisation, at least Nick Clegg is moving in the right direction this morning. There is much talk in Westminster, surely not rooted in jealously, of his announcement that Jeremy Browne will be sent on an all-expenses paid “fact-finding mission” to Amsterdam, Portugal and Latin America. The Home Office minister will be, ahem, researching the effects of liberal drugs policies in these countries. At least that’s what he is telling his boss…

BITCH!
Even Jeremy Brown can’t get higher than that…

Nick Clegg is cool man – he is half dutch or something after all, and could be on the blow ‘imself,
Guest starring Dave Cee, as the crow.
..and of course Labour as the Obama truck, to state the bleeding obvious.
High from Buenos Aires
High, Mary. Are you on a foreign trip too?
Hola!
Pot smoking Liberals the lot of them .
No back bone . No moral fibre .
Fuck all use in a fist fight .
Limp Dems don’t use fists they use handbags
Handbags?
Did you say handbags?
We hide ours behind the Squeaker’s Chair….
….or times of war.
I was sent down the mines as a bevin boy for refusing to fight in WW2.
It was well know bevin boys were cowards but now a days it’s had the full BBC “liberal revisionist treatment” and now we are all fuckin’ heros!
Rubbish

Fact finding mission, there is such a beast called the internet, but then again the thieving troughing MP’s will kill for a freebie
It is time these ridiculous MPs freebies were stopped. Any MP who wants to now about drugs can find out by talking to people in their own constituencies. Its the idea that their magic ‘presence’ that is required everywhere that astonishes me.
Even the EU summit can take place using skype or similar.

Any MP who wants to ‘know’ about drugs should trawl the council estates in London.Also go and visit some of the children’s charities like Kids Company which is a safe haven for many children.I’ve worked with young people whose parents are addicts.These kids were always the first at school (when they bothered to attend) and always smelly,hungry and tired.
When my fucking PC can dispense wine while I am on Skype then I am in, until then forget it.
All those political summits (especially the ones on climate change, or whatevcer it’s called today) can be held by using Skype or similar. You can bet private industry uses such technology, because they have to make sure all expenditure is necessary.
I already supply Downing Street by internet
Then I get the Chief Whippie to hand deliver the stuff
No one doubts him…
Good at hiding behind chairs and women’s skirts though.
I thought you were dead- or are you a replacement for the recently deceased?
Nice work if you can get it. I’ll quite happily volunteer to go back to the ‘Dam for this factfinding mission at the taxpayers expense…
I am quite prepared to be the government representative on a fact finding mission to eastern Europe and Russia. Boaz.
If you come to Russia, I will be waiting for you Mr Cock.
I feel sorry for the Customs Officer who has to perform a rectal examination on you without having had a pay rise in three years.
He should be grateful to have a job at all. The border agency are useless.
On 6th November 2012 Colorado and Washington state legalised cannabis for adults!
Are we so stupid in Britain that we cannot learn the lessons of history? If we prohibit something for which there is huge demand then the price rises and violent criminals become involved.
If we introduced a legally regulated system we would solve nearly all the problems around cannabis. Science proves how much safer it is than tobacco, alcohol, prescription medicines and all other recreational drugs. The evidence is that where legal regulation is introduced, consumption by children and all health and social harms are reduced.
Doctors would be able to prescribe one of the most effective medicines that has no serious side effects at all. At the moment the government has given GW Pharmaceuticals an illegal monopoly on cannabis so they make millions out of a medicine that you can grow in your greenhouse for virtually nothing.
Independent, expert research also indicates that a tax and regulate policy on cannabis would produce a net gain to the UK economy of up to £9.3 billion pa.
Our present policy on cannabis is irrational, irresponsible and dangerous. Surely, this inevitable and long overdue reform will now begin to roll out across the world?
Because there are no widely available methods of detecting drug intoxication and we do not want our roads filled with stoned loonies. Some devices are beginning to be produced, but they still are not reliable, and not in widespread use. Same applies to multiple variants of pills.
No. 28 says:
“Because there are no widely available methods of detecting drug intoxication and we do not want our roads filled with stoned loonies.”
The legal status of dope will not address your two concerns.
In Colorado / Washington state, whilst legal under state law, it is still illegal under Federal law.
There is a strict limit on the amount that can be in possession of an adult (21 years and over) and there are strict restriction on where you can possess and consume, for instance it is illegal to consume on the street.
You probably do not want to consume or possess at home if you have children as you may be open to child abuse charges.
There are means of detection: Urine / Blood samples, and a saliva test is being developed. The problem for DUI determination is that the thresholds for ‘intoxication’ have not been determined. In the US, many medical users who are perfectly safe behind the wheel despite blood saturation, have found themselves fall foul of this during routine stops. Prosecutors usually go lenient when the full facts are in.
Cannabis is not completely harmless and has been shown to be a more potent carcinogen than tobacco, and seems to be a risk factor for schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions developing in people exposed at least before age 18. The issue of exposure to children is the most important.
The real long term health effects have not been studied, however the case for medicinal use has been established.
Couldn’t he just send an email to our embassies? Wouldn’t that be the eco-friendly deficit reducing thing to do?
Sod the environment. Its cheaper.
He could surely take a leaf out of your book?
I do not reply to cables from LimpDems…
In any case, I am high as a kite already
Lovely these expenses paid holidays abroad…
With golden pensions at the end
SKYPE Jeremy, SKYPE.
Came across this
£3,525 Keith Vaz’s claim for 42,000 calendars
£650 Venetian blinds for Taunton MP Jeremy Browne
And it turns out That Jeremy Browne is a sex pest
http://wspostnews.blogspot.co.uk/2007/11/mp-pesters-teenage-woman-over-internet.html
This qualifies me to be Minister of All the States in the Home Office of course
Nothing like a bit of MP’s feely feely to give me street-cred…
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/7095615/MPs-expenses-Jeremy-Browne-successfully-appeals-against-repayment-demand.html
Perhaps the fact that he was a sex pest was the reason that OilyVaz thought he needed window blinds?
Jeremy is a credit to the Liberal Democrat Party, my apprentice and heir apparent. Jahbulon.
You are a great teacher, mentor and inspiration Handy and the only reason I joined the Liberal Democrats. Jahbulon.
Arr yes some realpolitik for once, I see they’ve yet to adopt the Western model of being two cheeks of the same arse and shitting all over the public.
Imagine what they would do to Ed Balls.
Ha ha! I got away with it! You fools all paid for my dry rot repairs!! That’s why I love Labour! Tee-hee!
I’m off down the pub. Later, you mugs!
Some other facts about Netherlands:
US State Dept: The Netherlands is a source, destination, and transit country for men, women, and children subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically forced prostitution and forced labor.
U.S. Helsinki Commission chairman Chris Smith recently testified at a hearing entitled: ‘Listening to Victims of Child Sex Trafficking’ that: Joris Demmink, former secretary-general of the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice, has been accused by witnesses in Amsterdam and Turkey of sexually abusing boys aged 11-15.
In light of various child protection investigations ongoing in the UK, there could be other facts being looked at here.
Is this the Chris Smith who was once a useless Labour MP?
He must be an Orange Booker with hair like that
I am always have my doubts about these orange people…
Is he a browne-hatter?
WACIST!
I’ll go too because I am such an authority on drugs. Did I ever tell you about my drug taking in the past….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The first one on there was not really the effects of use, but the effects of manufacture gone wrong. The woman is a burns victim who got caught out when her meth lab exploded. Not sure about the prevalence of meth amphetamine in UK, but definitely one to avoid.
But what about all the rest?
That is what crystal meth does to you over a number of years of abuse.
Steer clear.
Sort of on topic, if you get the chance watch ‘Breaking Bad’. Best TV since the Sopranos, better than The Wire.
I speak as one who usually studiously avoids TV.
I saw Will Self on QT last night, well for about two minutes before turning off. He is just a jumped up prick with a big gob. He should be fitted with a dog shit moustache.

The facial expressions of Peter Hitchens reminded of my best mate at school who also had the same opinions. He was diagnosed as a schizo at 17.
Never to be seen again.

Why do I get persecuted for smoking c i g a r e t t e s

When I was young many moons ago I once smoked some hash browns, I didn’t inhale but I did swallow.
We remember it so well Sally.
I speak fluent hash, or I spoke to you in hash?
Call me Cannabis Clegg from now on.
Racist Miliband is currently talking bollocks on BBC News 24.
If people have to be able to speak english for certain jobs, does that include dumb people as well? Miliband is anti-dumb people.
..only if they are white, middle aged and English. Exceptions will be made for all others [insert usual list here].
Let’s face it, he is simply dumb from top to bottom.
Hugh Grant will never be asked back onto Jon Stewart’s ‘The Daily Show’, after he was reportedly rude to staff. The US TV host also branded the British actor ‘a big pain in the ass’.
Stewart was speaking at a fundraiser for the Montclair Film Festival in New Jersey when he revealed his disdain for Grant. “He’s giving everyone shit the whole time, and he’s a big pain in the ass. And we’ve had dictators
on the show,” he said.
Stewart also revealed Grant’s displeasure at the clip they showed of his film ‘Did You Hear About The Morgans?’ during their interview. Grant reportedly said: “What is that clip? It’s a terrible clip,” to which Stewart quickly shot back: “Well, then make a better fucking movie.”

The Brian Leveson show was his farewell performance.
On yesterday’s Daily Politics brillo showed Caroline Lucas up big time. Where are the pipelines Caroline? And while we are on the Green theme, how do you travel around, and how is your house and office heated and lit. Pedal power is it?

Telegraph: Margaret Moran expenses sentencing: ‘Some may think she has got away with it,’ says judge A judge admitted today that Margaret Moran, the former Labour MP, may be perceived to have “got away” with fiddling her expenses by avoiding a criminal conviction and jail.
“The findings of the court were not convictions. Those findings enable me to make orders requiring her to undergo treatment for her mental health.”
I AM ONE OF THOSE WHO THINKS SHE HAS GOT AWAY WITH IT
She got away with it.

Will they be received by Dilma, Cristina and Hugo?
Ohhhhhh! Baby this is quality stuff. I am flying high in my Porky Pie world.
If he wants to know the effects of drugs, he should talk to some of the homeless and visit prisons.
Bloody hell! Are those weed prices for real? Shirly not? Time to load the van with Alpujarra Gold & drive north, methinks.
Yes, but when does Huhne go to jail?
